I will not be getting Xbox Scorpio DAY 1

Still, €500 would be about AU$699.30 or NZ$755.75. That's still a lot of money for many. I would be expecting a price tag of US$699 when Scorpio comes out. And you should be able to play your Xbox 1 games on it, from Day 1, as since it's just a hardware
revision of Xbox 1 (a larger hardware revision).

I'm getting it day 1. I'm guessing it'll be €500. Games will probably be scarce at first, but I have so many games on the One that I haven't been able to play yet so it's okay. I'll just play them on the new console.

I can't see the Scorpio being €500 ($531 USD), that's around the price for a GPU capable of what Microsoft say the Scorpio is able to do, just the GPU. They would be taking a massive loss on the hardware to be able to sell it at that price.

Personally speaking I can't see them taking a loss like that when the system is, at least initially, being said to just be a more powerful version of the Xbox One.

I'm sure they'll work out a good deal for the GPU. They'll be buying in bulk. Of they buy a few million of them they can get them for a really good price I'm sure.

"I have a high end custom desktop PC with an i7-6700k, SSD's, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and AMD R9 390 (which has a higher bandwidth 384GB/s than Scorpio's planned 320GB/s)." - smileskybird







I'm really disappointed in those specs. Maybe one day you can get a i8-7800k, SSDD's, 500GB DDR8 RAM, and AMD R10 666 (which blows away your garbage)

I think the Scorpio will live or die by its pricing.

The rumoured specs of the system are impressive but it is hard to see how Microsoft are going to be able to sell the system at anything less than $600 and we all know what that sort of pricing did to the PS3 when it made its debut.

Even with a bulk discount I can't see them selling for €500 without taking a huge loss on the hardware. The regular Xbox One loses them money on each sale and all the information I can find seems to show that the Xbox division as a whole isn't profitable
for Microsoft.

Would they really take a big hit to sell a console, that by their own admission, is only going to be playing the same games as the regular Xbox One.

Then again companies have done weirder things, so only the future will tell. Either way, the Scorpio is an interesting step in the Xbox life cycle.
